Scandal aside, the satirical strategy employed in this post reminds me of nothing so much as PATCHWORK, a novel composed entirely of other authors' sentences, by ("by"?) @TomComitta, which opens like this (and can be read about here: ocreviewofbooks.org/2025/08/21/tom…):

Tfw you start writing a short story from the perspective of the assistant fired from Christian Marclay’s The Clock for sourcing too many horror films & then suddenly @LACMA is screening it again… artillerymag.com/the-horror-of-…

Musician, producer, and author @JeffTweedy, best known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of Wilco, is interviewed in our Spring 2026 issue by writer @TomComitta on the occasion of releasing his new solo triple album, “Twilight Override." bit.ly/3OHZJUN
20 years ago I was a singer-songwriter making Wilco knock offs in my dorm room. 2 months ago I got to meet Jeff Tweedy and ask him everything I could think of about life and artmaking. Thank you to Ben Samuel and @BOMBmagazine for making it happen! bombmagazine.org/articles/2026/…
Not the best beach reading during the LA heatwave lol but grateful for this first scholarly intro to my writing by Michael Kalisch. He even went into the night novels! & happy 3rd birthday to The Nature Book 🥳 doi.org/10.16995/c21.1…

"[A]kin to Raymond Queneau’s *Exercises in Style*...but it also feels like a funhouse mirror of both airport fiction and experimental literature." PEOPLE'S CHOICE LITERATURE, by Tom Comitta, reviewed in @KirkusReviews bit.ly/4m8G3Vx @TomComitta @ColumbiaUP
Last day to get Patchwork, The Nature Book, and all Coffee House Press books 25% off! coffeehousepress.org/collections/fi…
Patchwork comes out August 19, but you can preorder it 25% off until August 3 here: coffeehousepress.org/collections/sh…
Made a whole book intro video but this outtake was better

Agree! These days I've been happily laboring in the trenches of experimental fiction, so I also appreciated @TomComitta's great list here: electricliterature.com/the-10-most-ex…. (Renee Gladman, Hurrah!)
So great to read this very thoughtful review by Laura Miller in @Slate of Tom Comitta's PEOPLE'S CHOICE LITERATURE: THE MOST WANTED & UNWANTED NOVELS. bit.ly/3GoXRfB @TomComitta @ColumbiaUP
